in italian we call them "red cats"
luckydata··on Terence Tao: Math 2.0 [pdf]
"our work has brought about enormous advancements to the field of mathematics and we don't like it"

it's pretty ironic that AI being just a group of mathematical techniques after all is making mathematicians uncomfortable because it works. Instead of reacting like this, mathematicians should be excited to figure out how to use the new tools available and push the frontier of what's possible in service of science.

Terrence is asking the stupidest question he could ask: how can math better serve me? They completely forgot the point of science is serving humanity.

google must be out of order in your neck of the woods uh?

being a night owl is not good for your health for a lot of reasons (I am one).

you are so utterly and completely wrong it's not worth engaging in anything you wrote.

luckydata··on OpenAI annualised revenues $20B less than previously signalled
in this case nothing. they are not public, and they never lied to their actual investors that we know of, they were just being tongue in cheek with the press and never actually made any materially false statement. Being oblique does a lot of the heavy lifting here.

I'm sorry but even as an immigrant in the USA this is bs. The h1b program brought a lot of great talent but also depressed employment rates for american graduates in computer science that's just a fact (please don't bother asking for a link google works as well for you as it does for me).

the H1B program is mostly a wage control tool for american big tech. I'm no friend of the current administration btw, I think they are monsters, but there's no reason to lie about a program that has had incredibly damaging effects on the labor market in the US.

luckydata··on ArtCraft Apps – open-source Adobe compatible suite written in Rust
to make a complete copy of photoshop you just need computer use, which this clearly didn't do.
luckydata··on California closed the Montana license plate loophole
is that a legal request?
luckydata··on ArtCraft Apps – open-source Adobe compatible suite written in Rust
I tested it, I did different things and nothing worked right.
luckydata··on ArtCraft Apps – open-source Adobe compatible suite written in Rust
the "photoshop equivalent" is really broken at a fundamental level. I can't do ANYTHING I tried to do. I'm sure it sort of works but the basics aren't there. Have you tried using it yourself?
luckydata··on ArtCraft Apps – open-source Adobe compatible suite written in Rust
oh c'mon, this thing IS garbage but it's completely possible to build a good one with AI, it just takes craftsmanship which is the part the dude spent no time on.
luckydata··on ArtCraft Apps – open-source Adobe compatible suite written in Rust
I tried their photoshop "equivalent" and it's a piece of garbage. Essentially nothing works. I'm sure it will improve but as of right now I would be pretty embarrassed to put something out that works so poorly.
luckydata··on ADHD, autism or complex trauma? [pdf]
100%. it's genetic, what's unclear about that?

luckydata··on ADHD, autism or complex trauma? [pdf]
because science says it's not how it works.
luckydata··on ADHD, autism or complex trauma? [pdf]
this is simply not true, and there's tons of scientific evidence of the contrary. ADHD makes you vulnerable to abuse because generally speaking people have a hard time dealing with the foibles of ADHD people. That makes you a target. We know that from science, there's no point in theorizing. ADHD is mostly genetic, highly hereditary and both under diagnosed and under treated. That's all there is to it.

"Control" in a box.
luckydata··on Google breaks promise to provide 10 years of updates to Chromebooks
they do not. I don't work there anymore and don't have any particular goodwill towards the employer that laid me off last year but I can guarantee that any data related to the education sector is under extremely strict controls.
luckydata··on Gemini 4 Argon
why reinvent the wheel and spend tokens for a problem that has already been solved?
luckydata··on I made a visual workspace for AI Automations
I honestly don't get what problem this solves. I see a lot of pretty animations but I struggle to understand why I should care.

killer robots will solve the problem don't worry
luckydata··on Show HN: Radius – A Meetup.com Alternative
nope, I just created a user with google single sign on I believe.
luckydata··on Show HN: Radius – A Meetup.com Alternative
I have to say the site is quite bad, unfocused, disappointing essentially by design... I signed up and immediately pinned me in the UK (I'm in the Bay Area), it's called radius and ironically has no radius to limit groups around me...

I don't know exactly WHY this site should deserve the user's time.

luckydata··on Go-based Robotics Framework built around NATS.io
the readme written by Claude is annoying. At least it explains what the project does but imho the writing needs a healthy human pass to remove all the bullshit phrasing "Gorai stops pretending otherwise..." perfect example.
luckydata··on Astra and Fable still hack on simple variants of alignment evals from 2025
the implication is drive and impulse to behave a certain way doesn't come from "intelligence"
luckydata··on Waymo pulls over, calls cops on juvenile riders who had 'ghost gun"
a taxi driver will call the police if you do anything stupid inside them, usually after dropping you in the middle of the street, your argument doesn't hold any water.
luckydata··on ElevenLabs Music v2.5
this is for things like elevator and lobby music, background music for infomercials etc... it's simply not economically plausible to hire a person, plus it's a hassle, and royalty free libraries are a hassle to use.
